The Macallan Distillery finally reveals the final decanter in its Six Pillars collection

Two years after debuting the fifth decanter in their Six Pillars range, the Macallan has completed the series with the launch of the Macallan Lalique Peerless Spirit, a 65 year old scotch whisky that has been bottled in a bespoke Lalique crystal decanter. This is one of the oldest and rarest products from the distillery. Aged in sherry casks, the expression is limited to 450 bottles which are valued at £23,000 (that’s US$33,210 at current exchange).
The Six Pillars collection has been a collaboration between the Macallan and Lalique that has shown the very best of both brands, reflecting their incredible attention to detail and timelessness. “This stunning collection of decanters is the result of two kindred spirits, rooted in a shared passion for craftsmanship, detail and mastery. This sixth and final release continues to showcase the unwavering commitment of both the masters of Lalique and The Macallan to create beautiful and desirable objet d’art,” said Ken Grier, brand director for The Macallan.

The design of the decanter was based on a single peerless drop of The Macallan, representing the most precious spirit in the world. The drop of Peerless Spirit falls from the Macallan inverted triangle, which can be found on every present day bottle of The Macallan. The first use of the triangle, can be traced back to Macallan bottling’s from the 19th century. The bottle’s overall design also derives from the blown and pinched technique that was used by René Lalique for many of his perfume bottles.
